Yeremiya 47
1 Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama Katonda ekyajjira nnabbi Yeremiya ekikwata ku Bafirisuuti nga Falaawo tannalumba Gaza nga kigamba nti:
So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah the prophet, Against the Philistines, —before Pharaoh smote Gaza:
2 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Laba amazzi agatumbira mu bukiikakkono, galifuuka omugga ogwanjaala. Galyanjaala ku nsi ne mu bibuga byonna ebigirimu n’ababituulamu. Abantu balikaaba; bonna abali mu nsi baliwowoggana.
Thus, saith Yahweh—Lo! waters rising from the North And they shall become a torrent overflowing, Which shall overflow The land and the fulness thereof, The city, and the dwellers therein, —Then shall men make outcry, And all the inhabitants of the land, howl.
3 Olw’emisinde gy’embalaasi ezidduka n’okufuumuuka kw’amagaali g’omulabe era n’okuwuuma kwa nnamuziga, bakitaabwe tebajja kukyuka kuyamba baana baabwe, emikono gyabwe gya kulebera.
Because of the sound of the tramping of the hoofs of his chargers, Because of the rushing of his chariots, the rumbling of his wheels Fathers shall not turn, to children, Because of the unnerving of their hands;
4 Kubanga olunaku lutuuse okuzikiriza Abafirisuuti bonna, n’okusalako bonna abandisigaddewo abandiyambye Ttuulo ne Sidoni. Mukama wa kuzikiriza Abafirisuuti abaasigalawo ku mbalama z’ekizinga Kafutoli.
On account of the day that cometh to lay waste all the Philistines, To cut off from Tyre and Zidon every escaped one that could have helped, —For Yahweh is laying waste the Philistines, The remnant of the Coastland of Caphtor.
5 Gaza alimwa omutwe gwe ng’akungubaga. Asukulooni alisirisibwa. Ggwe eyasigala mu kiwonvu, olituusa ddi okwesalaasala?
Baldness hath come, upon Gaza, Silenced is Ashkelon the remnant of their vale, —How long, wilt thou cut thyself?
6 “‘Ayi ggwe ekitala kya Mukama Katonda, okaaba, obudde bunaatuuka ddi owummule? Ddayo mu kiraato kyo sirika teweenyeenya.’
Ah! thou sword of Yahweh, How long, wilt thou not be quiet? Withdraw into thy scabbard, Rest thyself and be still.
7 Naye kiyinza kitya okuwummula nga Mukama y’akiragidde, ng’akiragidde okulumba Asukulooni n’olubalama lw’ennyanja?”
How, can it be quiet, when, Yahweh, hath given it a charge, —against Ashkelon and against the shore of the sea? There, hath he appointed it!
